For 'Someone Special'

It's Colour Week at Just Us Girls and Hosting is Sue

choosing

Welcome to today's post.

With such bold bright colours I decided to
go soft on my Trendy Spring Blooms from STAMPlorations
die cutting them in white and highlighting the centres.
I looked at my ribbon collection and found I had
matching ribbons in the  three colours.
Added them to the Henna embossed background
by Darice. Punched out a few smaller flowers
adding gems to the centres.
Finished off with my sentiment from
STAMPlorations Fluttery.

Miracles Happen

Hello and Welcome to my

  Reminder Post for our January Challenge over at

STAMPlorations

I started here with kraft card stock and

painted some strips with Gesso.

After that was dry I added colours randomly from

Freaky Franken Lime Magical's and 

Nuvo Shimmer Powders in Solar Flare.

Added Distress Grit Paste to the

ARTploratons Barley Stencil 

and random stamping with the

ARTplorations Lupinus Stencil

Both stencils are designed by talented Sanna Lippert.

I then heat embossed and coloured my

  STAMPlorations Bloomful Flower and popped

Sentiment was also heat embossed. 

Finished with some coloured cotton, coloured cheesecloth, 

backing it with white card stock and on to orange base.

You still have time to join our gallery for this month's challenge.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for dropping in and don't forget to check out

all the other Designer's Makes.

We are having a break for February so you will

see me back on 1st March for our new Stencil Challenge.

I'm 'Addicted' Again

Hello and Welcome to my post for today.

It's for the first Challenge of the Year over at

I am back Designing with the Girls again and

even more special is my great friend Aussie Annie

Watercolours, Sponges, Stencils, Masks etc etc

I made a similar watercolour card Here a few weeks ago 
and while I had my Lindy's Powders out I created this card also.

I only used Magnolia Magenta Gold for my 'mark'

smooching and using the cut piece from a

peek a boo die and embossing with 

We R Memory Keepers Geometric Embossing Folder

and popped.

 White background was also embossed

I cut out my dies in white and 

added a few centre bits from the colourful leftovers

including the Crafts4U sentiment.

A tiny Waffle flower bow and a few pearls

completed my card and attached to white base.

Hop on over and see what the rest of the Team created.

Hope you get a chance to join us this week.
